ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- A 65-yard free-kick goal from freshman Jack Brown with 46 seconds remaining in the match gave the University of Michigan men's soccer team a 3-2 double-overtime victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes on Sunday (Sept. 30) at U-M Soccer Stadium. With the win, Michigan improves to 3-5 on the season and evens up its Big Ten record at 1-1 this season.

The Wolverines got on the board first in the 34th minute of action, as junior Fabio Villas Boas Pereira(Sao Paolo, Brazil/South Kent [Conn.]) sent in a service off a corner from the right flank. The ensuing service was deposited into the back for the net on a header by junior Ezekiel Harris(Flint, Mich./Carman-Ainsworth), beating Ohio State goalkeeper Alex Ivanov to give Michigan the 1-0 advantage.

The Buckeyes evened the match in the 40th minute off a set piece, as Austin McAnena sent a through ball off a free kick from 25 yards out that found the foot of striker Chris Hegngi. The pass was sent home with a right-footed shot that beat Michigan goalkeeper junior/sophomore Adam Grinwis(Ada, Mich./Forest Hills) to draw the scoreline even at 1-1.

A turning point in the match came in the 61st minute, as Ohio State took its first lead, when a pass deflected off the chest of Harris that gave the Scarlet and Gray the 2-1 lead. However, Pereira knotted the contest just 12 seconds later, as he took a rebound from a sophomore TJ VanSlooten (Grand Rapids, Mich./Northview) shot at the top of the 18 and beat Ivanov lower left for his second score of the season and tied the match at 2-2 with 29 minutes remaining in regulation.

Michigan got the game-winner off Brown's foot with 45 ticks left on the clock, as an Ohio State offsides call gave U-M a free kick from 65 yards out. The service was sent inside the six, where VanSlooten screened the keeper and allowed for the ball to soar past Ivanov to give the Maize and Blue the winner.
